Comment 4 for bug 676370

You can try any image url with wget and it downloads the image no problem but as soon as you try it with any of the maps it doesn't work.

$ wget <url_path>

I'm thinking that perhaps die.net has blocked/stopped wget port, making any request useless. As stated here <http://www.die.net/earth/how.html> the images are free to use and when I first created RSW I tried to get in touch with die.net but I never got a response from them, so I continued using their images with a link back to their website as requested on the mentioned address. I already send them a message about this problem and waiting for a response.

I'm looking at other alternatives, like using a http request within RSW instead of using wget or perhaps download the images to an external server and use the for RSW from there, but changes will take some time to develop specially now that I have exams coming before Christmas, etc...
